So Hayes is advocating taking classified documents, which we haven't translated and don't understand, and then posting them on the internet where anyone with the most anti-American motives in the world can get access to 35,000 pages? They will know what is in the documents, and they will know how to use that information to further the war on terror.
What if the documents do discuss the WMD? What if they specifically describe where those documents have been stored? Do we really want every reader of Arabic to have immediate access to that information?
I don't understand the logic of saying, in effect, "here are some important documents. We have classified them but we don't know what they say, so we'll share them with the world."
That's the point the NYT is attempting to make with this story. But the point the public will get is that the WMD threat was real after all. And the effect will be to undermine the central moonbat theme, namely that the war was not necessary, Bush lied, people died.
This is a work accident for the NYT.
